Fig. 16.— Gouinia brandegei. Callus on right. 



This was first described by Vasey (Proc. Calif. Acad. , ser. 2, 2 : 213. 1889) . This 

 agrees with the other species of Gouinia in habit and in general floral struc- 

 ture, such as the 1 -nerved unequal empty glumes, the 3-nerved flowering 

 glume, the rather long-pediceled rudimentary flower, and the hairy callus of 

 the lower flower. It differs from the other species chiefly in the very short 

 awn to the flowering glume. 



Distribution: Lower California ; Brandegee 7, 9, 11, 38. Carmen Island, Mexico : 

 Palmer, 362.
